Summary
My breaths became jagged as my head was restored with my own thoughts, no longer taken over by the result of the wish. I attempted to take in the scene around me, not used to being able to observe it with my own eyes. It was then that I looked down and realized that my trembling hands were stained red.
-
Nikki regains control and is forced to confront what the wish- or Bear- turned her into.

Summary
Dustin lifted his head, and right there in the wall, staring back at him was that goddamn Grandfather Clock.
Shit. As if things couldn’t get any worse.
He slowly got up. He couldn’t do much more than stand there and stare at the first sign of his death embedded in the wall. He wanted to back away, he wanted to run. He wanted to scream.
He couldn’t do anything, though. He was heartbroken, he was overwhelmed, he was going to die. And he was 14. -

Summary
Hi journal. Or diary. Whatever. My mom thought it would be a good idea if I kept this journal, diary thing, to…cope, I guess. I’m supposed to use it - or, you - to basically write out my problems.
I’m Max. Maxine, technically, but everyone calls me Max. When I said I’m gonna write out my problems to you, that basically means I’m gonna write out my life story. At least, the last few years. Hell. -

Summary
Dustin’s peaceful sleep was interrupted by a sound. A muffled bang. He didn’t know exactly what it was at first, but whatever it had been was loud enough to wake him.
He slowly looked around, still coming to his senses. When his eyes landed on his bedroom window, he let out a short scream, more of a gasp, before realizing what, or who was there.
Max Mayfield, one of his closest friends, was knocking on his window from outside.

Summary
The gas revved. Her hands shook on the wheel. She couldn't look forward without seeing Sarah's face, the hope in her eyes, the way she'd looked with her skull bashed in, the blood and gore of the brick, her hand doing it—
Fuck. She wanted to puke.
If this worked, Nikki still might kill herself.
An exploration of how Nikki might be able to move on with her life, and what it might take to do so.

Summary
“Jared,” he whimpered. It really was too much. He couldn’t stand the thoughts whirling around in his head.
“You’re not alone.” Evan’s breath hitched. Jared kept saying that with no clue as to how alone Evan felt.
===
Heidi, bless her, has a shift and leaves Evan alone. Evan ends up having to call the insanely cool Jared Kleinman to help calm him down.

Summary
Dustin sucks in a sharp breath, claps his hands together in his lap, and says as straightforwardly as possible, “I’m going back in time.”
Steve doesn’t say anything. His mouth opens and closes like a goldfish. Then, he says, “What, like, right now?”
Dustin wakes up in Max’s trailer the day of Eddie’s death. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times? Three times is a pattern.
Or: Dustin Henderson is unstuck in time.

Summary
Sarah always hated green beans.
Even when all of her food was pulverized baby mush, her little nose would wrinkle the moment the tip of the spoon made it into her mouth, and she would throw her pudgy hands into the air and baby-shrill at him for the audacity of the attempt. When he tried to trick her into eating them with some idea of expanding her palate by slipping in a bit between spoonfuls of yogurt, he’d spent a week having to pry tiny fingers off of spoons when she insisted on checking each bite for further betrayal.
More than one supper had ended with a plastic cartoon character plate flung across the kitchen, green bean shrapnel spread across the floor. He’d usually made her go to bed early those nights, whether she ate anything else or not. It had felt like the right thing at the time, a life lesson about hard choices and consequences.
How he regrets those nights now.
(Sarah and Ellie both hate green beans) (Joel's approach to both is different)
